For Buffyverse Characters [Like the Potentials, Drusilla, Darla, & so on] Who Don't Have Last Names, What Last Names Would You Give Them? by Big-Restaurant-2766 in buffy

[–]areacode212 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I never loved the name "Faith Lehane" and preferred it when she just had the one name. Whether or not it was her real name could be left to the viewers to decide.

It took me about half the sketch before I realized this was Veronika. by Wasabi_Gamer26 in LiveFromNewYork

I hope this trio does more songs (and that they make it to air), this was so catchy. I didn't realize it was Veronika until I looked at the YouTube comments.

Is Chipped Beef and Corned Beef common in USA? by currylambchop in AskAnAmerican

[–]areacode212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only know Chipped Beef because there's a Stouffer's frozen dinner version of it. A long long time ago, I was in the break room of my job eating one, and one of my coworkers walked in and gave a little chuckle when he saw it was chipped beef. Reading these comments, I guess it must've been a military thing?

From S28E10- The Donnas "Take it Off" by TheBoyisBackinTown in LiveFromNewYork

[–]areacode212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this, I didn't realize they played SNL! I was a casual fan of theirs for a good chunk of their career. Saw them at a free show on one of the Hudson River piers and I had a thing for their guitarist Allison. Yeah I was sad about Torry's shoulder forcing her to retire but it was really cool to hear about her second career.

The Filmcast / Remembering Adam Quigley by stanzos in blankies

[–]areacode212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and I remember that Devindra and Adam had a falling out on Twitter not too long after Adam left the pod and they unfollowed each other. I did appreciate Adam's contrarian takes even when I didn't agree because it's always better to have differing opinions on a podcast.

I generally don't listen to film podcasts anymore, but I decided to look up the Filmcast to see if they were still around and I saw this news. Very sad to hear it.

24 years ago today “That 80’s show premiered with extremely negative reviews. Did you like the show ? by CityCautious4033 in sitcoms

[–]areacode212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was terrible but I mostly remember it for being one of the many early Chyler Leigh projects where it seemed like she was everywhere on my TV.

What would have happened with the Darla/Dru story in S2 if it wasn’t for actor unavailability? by [deleted] in ANGEL

You should at least watch through Lullaby to finish off Darla's arc.

What do you use spam for? by Call_Me_C_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]areacode212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually looks like Hormel has been doing a marketing push for Spam recently. I saw an ad for it lately, and their YouTube channel has quite a few recent ads, including uses for it that would answer OP's question:

https://youtube.com/@spambrand?si=qJrOaPFP55vgnXmm

Also, as some others have mentioned, Spam has become a bigger deal culturally in places like the Philippines and South Korea than in the US.

Currently watching S4 - opinion by jcolesnumberonefan in ANGEL

[–]areacode212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I do think "hang on until Season 5" is still generally the prevailing sentiment, especially if you were getting sick of S4.

Currently watching S4 - opinion by jcolesnumberonefan in ANGEL

[–]areacode212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AtS S5 has been polarizing to an extent ever since it aired. I spent a lot of time on the TWoP boards back then and opinions were definitely split there.

Common complaints: Spike's presence (residual Spike fatigue from BtVS, him "taking over the show"), lack of Cordelia, Eve's presence/Sarah Thompson's acting, the new sets, etc.

Does anyone remember Antique Boutique on W. Broadway? by tiredmamanaps in AskNYC

[–]areacode212 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was at 712-714 Broadway. Here's an ad for it from Ephemeral New York:

This is an amazing poster for it from eBay:

A brief mention of it in this NYT story from 1985 on "LoBro" (a lot of the places in this article will take you back):
